Something here touched a nerve with me

From a bizarre interview with the rapper DMX:

All right, well is there anything else that I missed? Anything that you’re working on?
Working on life.

Working on life.
Yeah, working on life.

Are you happy right now?
I don’t wanna be happy.

Why not?

’Cause when you happy you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on point. I always wanna be aware.

Right, ’cause when you’re happy you think you’re safe and you don’t…
Yeah, you get sleepy happy.

    Not the most loquacious fellow, is he? But I like this:
    You don’t feel a certain way about that.
    Nah, I don’t even think about it, for real. I mean, it’s a waste of energy to think about what somebody else is doing and how they doing it. I’ma just do what I do. All that shit is a headache.

    Do you worry about people getting the wrong perception of you?
    No, I really don’t. People could say what they want. I don’t really care. I don’t give a fuck.

    Wow, that is so great. That’s why I don’t drink, because it puts me to sleep. But I want to be happy, and for the most part I am. I am happy being aware. I am happy being awake. I like this snippet. Thanks for posting!
